Which of the following is NOT one of the five steps typically used in NEBOSH Element 1 fire risk assessment?

• A. Develop an emergency plan
• B. Identify hazards
• C. Record findings and implement them
• D. Monitor and review

Answer: (A)

The test focuses on the five-step framework used for NEBOSH Element 1 fire risk assessment. Those five steps are: identify hazards; decide who might be harmed and how; evaluate the risks and decide on precautions; record the findings; and review the assessment and update it if necessary. Developing an emergency plan is not part of this five-step risk assessment sequence. It’s an important safety activity, but it sits in a separate area of fire safety planning rather than within the core risk assessment steps. The other options align with the steps: identifying hazards is directly one of the steps; recording findings and implementing controls reflects documenting and applying the chosen precautions; and monitoring and reviewing corresponds to the ongoing review/update stage.
